资源简介:
This stele portrays two antithetically placed seated lions. Similar early archaic funerary stelae from Cyprus were often crowned with lions or sphinxes. Sphinxes, mythical monsters and lions were considered to be apotropaic symbols and were often used in this sense in funerary stelae. The iconography has its origins in the Near East.
